Columbia

We made the trip to Columbia today for Linda's 6-month checkup. She gets a little nervous for these since she knows she is being evaluated. That kicks up her tone, so she is never really satisfied with her performance. Still, Dr. R raved about her progress to another Dr. who will soon be moving out west to take a job in another rehab hospital.

We saw all of the old therapists today. Ellie was especially charming in a pink glittered dancing dress that she got for her birthday. She was all energy today. She even played catch with one of the in-patients (for a long time) while we visited.

The walking eventually got to be a bit much for Linda, but she managed pretty well (using her 4-point cane the whole time). We sat down to rest a time or two, and she was really feeling it at the end, but we didn't have to borrow a wheelchair or anything.

All in all, it was a pretty good trip. We got to ask the Dr. a few questions, and we forgot to ask a question or two (which I'm going to send to him via email). Linda got a good walking challenge (and it's good she has tomorrow off to rest). Ellie had fun and was pretty good and very very cute.
